Realization

It didn't hit me until yesterday that it's been over 3 (almost 3 and a half) years since I graduated from UConn. I probably tell someone how long I've worked at Raytheon or how long I've been in Fort Wayne once a week on average, but I never pondered over it. It basically has become an automated response.

Last night I had the opportunity to catch up with the bride-to-be. That conversation was the start of the realization of just long it's been since I met her shortly after upon my arrival. I'm excited for her wedding tonight!

Then, I had a conversation with another friend who has been having car trouble. The late 90s Honda Accord is finally showing it's age. My mind may be stuck in the early 2000s, it's crazy to think that car is over 15 years old. I guess this comes with age...

While browsing Facebook just before going to bed, I saw one of my Huskymates got engaged! I was filled with joy and had to call and congratulate him or else I probably would have exploded with too much jolly. I got to speak with him about the details and such.

It's been over three years since living with him and we realized how terrible we both are in maintaining our relationship throughout the years. But as good friends do, we spoke to each other like we did when we lived in the same apartment at 3 in the morning. It was absolutely wonderful talking to him (with his fiancée listening).

I'm expecting many more engagements to come in the very near future. There's nothing like friends hitting milestones to glance over the past few years!

There is so much excitement going through my mind that I don't know how to contain it all!
